Conny Janssen Danst

Dans & ballet

How do we deal with the pace and expectations of modern society and the high demands that we make to ourselves? We try to keep up with everything, do we flee or are we going to fight?

Instinct is not just a dance performance - it is an explosion of energy, movement and emotion. In this dynamic representation of the Rotterdam dance company Conny Janssen Danst, we dive with an adventurous group of dancers in the four instinctive reactions to a threat: fighting, flights, freezing or pleasing. What happens if you are under pressure? Artistic leader Conny Janssen invites choreographer Patricia van Deutekom. Where Patricia van Deutekom has a preference for a powerful, unpolished but sensitive dance language, Conny Janssen zooms in more on the individual qualities of her dancers that she hides with her own dance language. A compelling mix of movement, music and stories that you take into the battle, tension and adrenaline of daily life.

45 minutes before the start, an introduction is given by Annette Embrechts, dance and theater journalist for de Volkskrant. For this you can reserve a place free of charge during the ordering process.
